Could you let us know what chipID it has? Plug it in and run:
lsusb -vt
on the terminal.

Must be that one… and I searched for the ID: eb1a:8286
… I guess it is some custom chinese chipset which needs a special driver. I read on the starchip site there were problems with the driver even on windows. Sorry… but that was big mistake to buy that device. However… no driver for Linux available.
I bought it based on positive reviews/posts and forums - admittedly there was no info that it will work under Linux! I got it from Amazon, so I can send it back for a refund. There are a lot of those devices on offer that look the same, claim to do the same job, some even have the same name, but they all can have different chips - some may work in Linux some not!? There is no sure way to know before buying and plug it in! Anyway I keep looking. Thanks to all for your input.
